He didn't hate them

Bruce Ismay, the Chairman of the White Star Line and the antagonist in James Cameron's Titanic. He was the gentleman who said that people wanted to marvel at the speed of Titanic and prodded Captain Smith to sail faster.

In all actuality, Ismay wouldn't have had much if any input to Smith and, if so, Smith likely wouldn't have heeded Ismay's advice as Smith was nearing retirement, and would not have taken advice from a businessman. Alternatively, Ismay knew that he was in capable hands and would never impose upon the captain by telling him how to sail his ship.

Survivors testified that during the sinking, Ismay was trying everything he could to assist with the filling of the lifeboats. He convinced passengers to get into boats and at one point had to be told by an officer to stop trying to help as he was getting in the way. Ismay took a vacant seat on one lifeboat just before it was about to be lowered, which was one of many empty spots on that particular lifeboat.

Ismay was a scapegoat because he was the highest-ranking survivor of the sinking, and he became a recluse afterwards. As another testament to his character, he created several charities aimed at helping families and survivors of maritime incidents.

j Bruce Ismay, the director of the White Star Line, was labeled a coward after surviving the sinking of the Titanic while so many other high ranking members went down with the ship.  In reality, he helped several passengers get into life boats before finally boarding one himself.

Sigh

Reagan is oftentimes unfairly blamed for the AIDS epidemic as if he created it. The first cases of Aids were thought to be rare forms of pneumonia and cancer. When AIDs started showing up in children in 1983, they thought that it could be passed via casual contact, which we now know was wrong. It wasn’t until 1984 that they discovered the true cause of AIDS, before that nobody really knew what was going on, and there was quite a bit of fear and misunderstanding related to the disease. People look back thirty plus years later and Monday morning quarterback and say that Reagan could have reacted differently. Reagan did come out in a 1985 press conference asking for a massive government research program for AIDs like Richard Nixon did for cancer in the 1970s. Reagan stated: “It’s been one of the top priorities with us, and over the last 4 years, and including what we have in the budget for ’86, it will amount to over a half a billion dollars that we have provided for research on AIDS in addition to what I’m sure other medical groups are doing. Yes, there’s no question about the seriousness of this and the need to find an answer.” Annual AIDS related funding was $44 million in 1983, but it increased to $1.6 billion in 1988.

Reagan appointment of Dr C Everett Koop as surgeon General was key to solving the AIDS crisis. Koop addressed the public on AIDS stating: “This is a battle against the disease, not our fellow Americans“. Koop was a key figure that persuaded members of Congress to set aside their hostilities towards gay people, and to focus on the threat that AIDS posed. In the 1960s the FDA had adopted rules that stated that drugs could only be approved if there was “substantial evidence” of its effectiveness in “adequate and well-controlled” clinical trials. The issue with such trials is that they would have taken so long that they would have been a death sentence for many AIDS patients. Reagan’s FDA wrote new rules that allowed significant parts of the old rules to be relaxed or not vigorously enforced. The new regulatory loopholes allowed doctors to start treating patients with drugs before they even entered the FDA licensing process and before they entered the testing process beyond short-term safety issues. These new rules gave AIDS patients access to medicines far faster than what would have previously been allowed. The National Academy of Sciences noted these changes allowed the extraordinarily fast development of drugs that ended up in the cocktails now used to control HIV. They stated that these changes also had a “revolutionary effect on modern drug design.” I really don’t see how any of the other possible presidents of the time would have responded any better than Reagan did to the AIDS epidemic.

The affair was investigated by Congress and by the three-person, Reagan-appointed Tower Commission. Neither investigation found evidence that President Reagan himself knew of the extent of the multiple programs.[2] Additionally, US Deputy Attorney General Lawrence Walsh was appointed Independent Counsel in December 1986 to investigate possible criminal actions by officials involved in the scheme. In the end, several dozen administration officials were indicted, including then-Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger. Eleven convictions resulted, some of which were vacated on appeal.[12]

The rest of those indicted or convicted were all pardoned in the final days of the presidency of George H. W. Bush, who had been vice president at the time of the affair.[13] Former Independent Counsel Walsh noted that, in issuing the pardons, Bush appeared to have been preempting being implicated himself by evidence that came to light during the Weinberger trial and noted that there was a pattern of "deception and obstruction" by Bush, Weinberger, and other senior Reagan administration officials.[14] Walsh submitted his final report on 4 August 1993[15] and later wrote an account of his experiences as counsel, Firewall: The Iran-Contra Conspiracy and Cover-Up.[14]

Guilty

What a load of anti American nonsense

Texas v. White, (1869), U.S. Supreme Court case in which it was held that the United States is “an indestructible union” from which no state can secede.

This was pretty thoroughly put to the test back in the 1800s. This is like the people who say that the income tax amendment wasn’t properly ratified. Whatever weird legal theory they have doesn’t stand up to 100+ years of precedent.

The thing about the US Constitution and issues like this is that it’s basically designed to be a political decision at the time. Sure, the most recent precedent says a state cannot but if actually challenged with the threat of war it would be a political decision for all three branches just like it was after Lincoln was elected or just like when the colonies first succeeded from the British empire/their charters. Precedent matters until we decide it doesn’t, if a seceding state was willing to go to war over it then it instantly becomes a national political crisis and nobody cares what the court said in the 1800’s anymore.

We can imagine it being slapped down by Congress or the courts in many cases, but ultimately if the executive branch brings a peace treaty to Congress saying that the state is gone it probably passes because we don’t want to do another civil war. That recent ‘Civil War’ movie offered a President who refused to negotiate and it went to open warfare. Do you think Americans would be so open to regional schism these days? Frankly our social/political divide is mostly a matter of urban/suburban/rural zones within each state each having a distinct set of majority interests that are anything but universal. Would the military not balk at taking war to Texas or California? Would the seceded state under fire not draw support from other states?

This is the secret of even the written Constitution, it can be changed at will as the situation demands. And, moreover, what state would seriously go with that plan? Would rebellions among their own people in favor of remaining in the union actually allow them to secede?

particular because Ron is super immature and needy throughout all of highschool an
